Bill Summary
A resolution expressing the sense of the Senate on maintaining the current annual adjustment in retired pay for members of the Armed Forces under the age of 62.
AI Summary
This Resolution expresses the Senate's view that retirees from the Armed Forces, including those who served a full career and those medically retired, along with their survivors, should not disproportionately bear the burden of government spending cuts. It acknowledges that these military retirees have made significant sacrifices and earned the benefits promised to them, and the Senate has a duty to protect these benefits. The resolution specifically calls for the Senate to explore alternatives to Section 403 of the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2013 (which was introduced as H.J. Res. 59 in the 113th Congress) before its effective date, aiming to find solutions that require contributions from all Americans rather than unfairly targeting military retirees.
